Well I've been melting down my pewter that I've been getting from thrift shops into easy to manage ingots --

A whole bunch of them had this golden sheen on the bottom, so was wondering what it...

Nice going, Uncle. I'll be interested in a share as well so that's a +1 from me (although I might have to steal it from you ha ha)

I have a gal. jug of Kroil so what I do, is I plug the end of the bbl and just fill up the barrel with kroil, let it sit for however long as I please then dump the thing and run a brush thru a few...

Evaporust for sure.. If you can get ur hands on that stuff, it works miracles but it takes off bluing for sure (its a form of rust) It really cleans the metal too.

Whoopsie, I guess great minds think alike lol.

The metal plate is actually about 1/4 inch thick -- Steel plate. I guess the picture doesn't show that very well.

I'll consider the travel size...

I think pics are pretty self-explanatory.

Works wonderful for me :) I hope this gives others ideas/help as well. I usually keep the iron on the lowest setting, that's as good as it needs to be. I...

Very good question -- I have about a ton and half total of two very good distinct alloys and I'm always looking to get more.. It really doesn't cost me anything and I really enjoy the process of...

ask for dive weights, easy, or sailboat keel ballast..

Seriously, just be creative in ways that does not affect the environment..

Hell, even say "for safe disposal, i will come and pick up to...

Great company, no doubt about it.

I did a bit more looking and those ARE for 44-40's but they may just work alright out of a 44 spl load though..

Apparently this iron doesn't have that safety switch, the heat keeps going.. Temp control's great.

As cast, they are .428 really, I measured before and after so if it sized, it didn't do much. The alloy is a unknown mix of range scrap, roofing lead, and other pieces I've had around that I threw in...

Just came up with something I read somewhere probably on here..

Pictures are self explanatory, it works great.

I need someone to shoot some (40 ct) of my bullets that I cast and lubed with BAC as found here (http://www.lsstuff.com/lube/) a bit stiff but should perform well in medium to hotter loads- I cast...

Lever Action.. Just to give it a shot, if they do shoot great, awesome, if not then no biggie. I'll have to make up a dummy/two to see the measurements.

Don't forget there's sabots for .223 which will go about 3,000fps but not what you're looking for in terms of bullet weight it seems.

I have a nice pile of .311 bullets which will be sized to .309 to be used in my 30-30 but they are 190gr gas checked.

I've been looking for a decent load to use those in I've found some...

If it feeds, shoot it.

Slug your barrel then go about .02 over and then you're really good to go.

Note - I cross posted in the shotgun casting forum, I know some people who only go there and not here so I figured both areas would benefit.

Thought I'd share the modified handles I have, as we...

Thought I'd share the modified handles I have, as we know those molds are excellent but the handles are somewhat cumbersome and get hot.

My advice, post on craigslist as wanted to buy.

I got 10 high quality buckets for $2 each, they all held floor cleaning/waxing compounds but they were washed out so nice and clean.

Also...

For a lifetime of shooting? I don't extactly blaze them off, I do replenish from time to time from finds and pick ups.. I cast 12ga slugs, .50 balls, buckshot, .30-30, and .45's.. Not much at a...

Those containers are great stuff...

15 BHN air cooled.

22 BHN dropped.

Jackets are very good for selling to scrapyards.. Mine takes them as copper -- $1.70 a lb.

That happens to me, and nothing to worry about it all, here's a little interesting test -- as they cool, harden int he middle, give em a minute then just dump em out of the mold and whack em with a...
